CHAIR Filed July e, 193e Patented Mar. 9, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

The invention relates to chairs and particularly to high chairs for children.

It is an object of the invention to provide a foot rest which may be conveniently and rapidly adjusted to meet the requirements of a growing child.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a foot rest which may be conveniently adjusted without interference with the front legs of the 1U chair, so that carvings or varying diameters of the legs may be disregarded.

It is also an object of the invention to provide in a high chair means for securing a foot rest for vertical adjustment but free from contact with the front legs.

With these and other objects in view, which will become apparent from a. perusal of the description of the invention, the latter comprises the means described in the following specification, particularly pointed out in the claims forming a part thereof, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a high chair constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the several views of the drawing, i6 generally designates a high chair which comprises a seat ll supported on front legs l2 and rear legs i3 and provided with a back I4. A tray or shelf l5 is provided with rigid side arms I6 hingedly secured to the side edges of the back. A strap Il is fastened to the lower side of the tray and is detachably secured to the under side of the seat to hold the tray down. The front legs are connected by a rung I6 and a pair of vertical stay rods i9 extend between the seat and the rung i8.

A foot rest 26 is made up in sections 2l and 22,

held together by a single screw 23. The foot rest 20 provides apertures 24 to clear the stay rods and, upon tightening oi the bolt 23, thel foot rest is clampingly secured to the stay rods.

Attention is called to the fact that the foot 5 rest does not engage or come in contact with the front legs, so that irrespective of varying diameters of the legs or their slanting arrangement, the foot rest may be adjusted with convenience and dispatch on the vertical stay rods over a 10 considerable range.

While the drawing shows a preferred embodiment of the invention, various changes and alterations may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not limit 15 myself to the details of construction and arrangement, as shown, but Wish to include all variations and revisions and modications constituting departures within the scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.

I claim:

l. In a high-chair having a seat supported on front and rear legs and a rung connecting said front legs, stay rods connecting said seat and said rung, a. foot rest on said rods free from contact with said front legs comprising a front section and a rear section embracing said stay rods, and means for adjustably clamping said sections on said stay rods.

2. In a high-chair having a seat supported on 30 front and rear legs and a run connecting said front legs, stay rods connecting said seat and said rung, a foot rest on said rods free from contact with said front legs comprising a front section and a rear section embracing said stay rods, and a single means for adjustably clamping said sections on said stay rods.
